Also offensive: pointing out that English speakers do not use the word “American” to refer to people from Latin America. The term in our language is universally used to refer to people from the country America.

I get that you’re riffing but god it pisses me off that Mexico is constantly treated as part of Central, not North, America.
Now here is a hill I die on: most Central America is part of North America, except the eastern half of the territory controlled by Panama.
Still not as important as saying “European peninsula”.
This is what I was taught growing up, too. But personally I don’t actually care too much about where the borders between continents are drawn. I can see it being reasonable to put the northern border of central America anywhere from a line between San Diego and Houston in America to a line near the eastern edge of Oaxaca and Veracruz in Mexico. And the southern border anywhere from the western edge of Panama to a line between Golfo de Uraba and Punta Pina in northwestern Colombia.
Personally I’d call Europe a subcontinent, similar to how we talk about the Indian subcontinent.
If you look at their comment history, I’m pretty sure that user is a serial troll. Not really worth engaging with.
